Three Windows 11 Features That Has Me Stoked
I've spent several days trying to digest all Windows 11. Upon my observation, I have come away quite impressed with all the new features in Microsoft's latest operating system, unveiled this past week. Rather than outline every element in the new operating system, I've listed three features in Window 11 that has me stoked.
The Snap Layouts
The ability to close, open, and size windows on the screen is nothing new; it's a features many Windows users have enjoyed for quite some time. So Who doesn't like Aero Shake on the desktop? I know I do.
In comes the latest windows positioning feature, Snap Layouts. This feature lets users choose from a selection of window layouts (check out the image above) and quickly populate them with app windows of any choice.
Entirely New Look
Regarding Windows 11 design, I say the changes made are incremental but glaringly noticeable if that makes any sense. But about the taskbar, the icons are now centered, similar to Chrome OS. The Start button, though, is still to the left of the app icons. The icons are more rounded than ever, which it's safe to say is macOS-inspired. For me, the deal-breaker is the entire center look. Users now aren't required to move the mouse across the whole display to launch apps.
Another change from my perspective is Windows 11 overall is more transparent, akin to Windows 7. In addition, animations and icons seemingly are more cleaner.
Android Apps Comes To Windows
Yes, you can now run Android apps on the PC. When I first heard this, I said, "no way, this can't be, right?" You can. How will this work? Please bear with me because it's a bit weird. You'll install Android apps, from the new Microsoft Store, via the Amazon App store. Now, if you're a Samsung Galaxy smartphone owner like myself, you can access Android apps on Windows 10. Currently, I own the Galaxy Note 20, so I'm very eager to merge my mobile device with a PC.
